It's happening again. I post a comment on a thread, a couple of posts later AN Other says the same and there is a clamour of "well said AN Other . A little while later somebody remarks "as AN Other said....." and" I agree with AN Other " It happens in RL too, at my Eng Lit class the tutor was "musing" on something (the name of a minor character) I gave the name, there was some more musing and muttering and then somebody else said it, then "oh yes of course! Well done you for remembering!"
Have no idea what you're on about maw. If you're on about being "noticed" Ive sort of seen your posts but to be fair, never been particularly interested in airy fairy ideas, so sort of passed you by.
Why people crave to be noticed is pretty bizzare. I come here and say what I want then leave.
Indeed Jalima, I don't begin a thread very often as I nearly always get shot down in flames. I think I'm quite invisible most of the time. It's probably my own fault as I tend to steer clear of confrontation.
Hmmm, yes Jalima for sure somebody didn't like that raining comment did they? Could it have been you? I hereby amend it to.....it always seems to rain when we put a toe into Gloucestershire, but is otherwise very dry and sunny.
I am also often invisble when I make a sensible comment in a conversation, until of course I say something silly and all at once everybody immediately takes notice of me and comments on it. You just can't win.
there are usually the same few posters queuing up to 'have a go' even when I say something along the lines of'what a lot of weather we are having lately or "it's always raining in Gloucestershire"
I never feel invisible on GN......there are usually the same few posters queuing up to 'have a go' even when I say something along the lines of 'what a lot of weather we are having lately'
Seems you are in good company Maw Broom. One of the downside of getting older. I remember Sheila Hancock, saying that she sat in restaurants people watching, because she became invisible after her husband died.sigh...
? Invisible, certainly not you Maw, I always read your posts. You and Kitty and Phoenix can always be relied on for witty, thoughtful and entertaining responses. I can often tell phoenix's threads by the OP. You 3 always make good reading in my humble opinion. please send cheque to my company, payment for compliments
Merlotgran: "The graveyard slot for posts is at the bottom of a page. I've often clicked 'post' then realised it probably won't be read and somebody else will say exactly the same thing on the following page."
I have my threads the other way round, with the newest at the top. That way I only have to scroll down to the last one I remember reading, and work back up :-)
When DH was planning how to do something, I would say "How about . . .?" and get the answer, "Hmmm!! No, that wouldn't work" Then a few days later he would come home from work to report that XXXX had a great idea, what he should do is - yes you've guessed, what I suggested that was turned down.
I also belong to this group , so we should all sign up to the invisibility club. It'll be alright cos no one can see us. Do your cars become invisible as well, like ours?
